Fire tinder, usage, and apparatus and process for manufacturing

Abstract

Helix shaped fire tinder, and fire tinder integration into a corkscrew to provide an easy secure carrying and readily available storage solution for the user. An apparatus for manufacturing a helix shaped fire tinder. A process including a means of making a fully waterproof helix shaped tinder.

I claim: 
     
       1. A fire tinder, comprising;
 a body of the fire tinder, the body shaped and sized to be housed at least partially within at least one of, a helix-shaped tool, or a helix shaped tool member, the body defining an at least partially helix shape, the at least partially helix shape defining at least one or more voids between one or more turns of a helix along the direction of a central axis, the one or more turns defining at least one outer width, the at least one outer width matching or at least closely matching an outer width of at least one of the helix shaped tool or the helix shaped tool member, wherein the body is composed of at least one of flammable fibers or flammable particles, and at least a bonding material, the at least one of flammable fibers or flammable particles being at least partially held together into the at least partially helix shape with the bonding material. 
 
     
     
       2. The fire tinder of  claim 1 , wherein the body is shaped and sized to be housed fully within at least one of a helix-shaped tool or a tool with a helix shaped tool member. 
     
     
       3. The fire tinder of  claim 1 , wherein the body is shaped and sized to be housed substantially within a corkscrew of at least one of a pocket tool, a pocket knife, a multi-tool, or a wine opener. 
     
     
       4. The fire tinder of  claim 1 , wherein the at least partially helix shape defines an at least partially helix-shaped cavity. 
     
     
       5. The fire tinder of  claim 1 , wherein the at least partially helix shape includes a cross-sectional-plane-profile-shape, the cross-sectional-plane-profile-shape being at least one of rectangular or circular. 
     
     
       6. The fire tinder of  claim 1 , wherein the body is shaped and sized to be housed with a tool that houses with a corkscrew. 
     
     
       7. The fire tinder of  claim 1 , wherein the body is shaped and sized to be housed with a sparking tool. 
     
     
       8. A fire tinder, wherein the fire tinder is shaped and sized to be housed at least partially within a helix-shaped tool or helix-shaped tool member, the shape and size of the fire tinder including at least a helix shape, the helix shape defining at least one or more voids between one or more turns of a helix along the direction of a central axis, the one or more turns defining at least one helix pitch, the at least one helix pitch matching or at least closely matching a helix pitch of at least one of the helix-shaped tool or the helix-shaped tool member. 
     
     
       9. The fire tinder of  claim 8 , wherein the fire tinder is shaped and sized to also be housed with a tool that houses with a corkscrew.
